My first post on this board! \o/ Heehhee, it feels like something worth celebrating.

For the Walking Dead swap I participated in recently, my partner had a lot of bags, particularly Teesha Moore (?) and other patchwork bags on her pintrest so I thought I'd give it ago. It was about an hour (and three dozen needle-stabs) into my first patch, when I realized handsewing isn't really my forte. I really wanted to make a bag so I decided to focus on my strengths; one of which is photoshop. So I designed the bag, and each little patch and then printed it out on inkjet printable cotton, cut out each piece, sewed it on to different coloured felt and then zig-zag stitched everything together on the machine.

I think I might have to find a way to snatch this from your swap partner...

It is incredible! I love the way you did it...using mixed images and sewing it a bit wonky...

The Cherokee Rose brought a tear to my eye!

To start with I wasn't going to include that Cherokee Rose patch, but I liked the contrast of that panel and the one opposite it; the zombie ears from Daryl. It's my little nod to both the hard edge and soft center of Daryl.
